Before vacuuming, make sure that the fitted nozzle and the set suction power suit the surface to be cleaned.
Also observe the flooring manufacturer's recommendations.
1. Select a nozzle from the scope of delivery to suit your cleaning task:
„
Floor nozzle (Fig. 4/1): Set the carpet/hard floor selector according to the type of flooring:
- "Carpet" position (Fig. 5/A): for deep- and short-pile carpets, runners.
- "Hard floor" position (Fig. 5/B): for smooth floors, e.g. laminate, tiles, PVC, etc.
„
Parquet brush (Fig. 4/2): for vacuuming delicate surfaces (e.g. furniture).
„
Turbo brush (Fig. 4/3): is used to vacuum non-sensitive carpets, runners, mats, and the like.
„
Upholstery nozzle (Fig. 6/1): For vacuuming dust from upholstery.
„
Furniture brush (Fig. 6/2): Use this to vacuum dust off objects that have sensitive surfaces.
„
Crevice nozzle (Fig. 6/3): For removing dust from tight crevices.
„
Flexible crevice nozzle (Fig. 6/4): For removing dust from tight and hard to reach crevices.
2. Push the desired nozzle onto the lower end of the telescopic tube or the handle (Fig. 4 or Fig. 6).
